Quality Interventions Research and Innovation Partnership Project

Tender description

The HEE Quality Strategy and Framework describe HEE’s vision for how we will use our levers, leadership and influence to assure and continuously improve the learning environment. The Strategy and Framework set out:- •HEE’s responsibilities for the quality agenda and our multi-professional leadership offer to the education and training system for healthcare •How HEE will build stronger collaborative alignments with the wider health and care system, to drive quality improvement in education and training •How HEE will align our resources to make the most effective and efficient use of our education infrastructure, investment, leadership and capability •A single multi-professional HEE Quality Framework to ensure a consistent approach to quality improvement across work based learning and assessment for all healthcare learners Since the Strategy and Framework were published, a Handbook and Intensive Support Framework have been produced, which assist teams to implement the Framework. Specific Quality Interventions are described within these documents. In implementing the HEE Quality Strategy and Framework, HEE has introduced a risk-based approach to quality assurance. This approach will potentially alter the number of regular and routine quality assurance visits to health and care organisations providing placements and target resources to where they are most needed. SCOPE The contract is being established for sole use by HEE, for a period of 4 months. HEE’s key role is to be the custodian of the learning environment. Whilst this research will support the quality of the learning environment for all learners, the focus of research activity will be on the quality interventions supporting post-graduate medical and dental learners as well as undergraduate multi-disciplinary learners on placement.
